I thought I made myself clear during my last email to you. I will not tolerate any action by your client that is likely to cause harm or place in danger, me, my family, my employees, my clients or my patrons.

I also advised you that I had concerns about the methodology being used by your client to attempt to gather information relative to the proposed article.

This morning I received a call from a business partner of mine advising that a representative of your client had contacted him and asked a series of questions clearly intended to cast me and my business interests in a negative light.

I suggest that you immediately conduct an internal investigation to determine why your client is conducting itself in this manner.

I will not tolerate your client attempting to sell newspapers by conducting a fishing expedition utilizing questions geared to unlawfully cast me or any of my businesses in a negative light.

Your client has very specific obligations in this regard. I strongly suggest that you instruct them accordingly.

Phone call to my house August 25, 2009, to my husband:

"You people harm people by a thousand cuts. I’m not going to let you do that to me. ... I’m going to stop your wife. I’m going to stop you.... Call me the Jewish avenger.... I’m going to destroy you. I’m going to bankrupt you. you’re going to have to hire more lawyers than you can imagine.’’

Aug. 5, 2009, email to Sun Sentinel attorney:

We are getting ready to file and serve our action against Brittany and the paper and wanted to give you a heads up.

Do you want to accept service or should we just serve Brittany directly and the paper through its registered agent.

Let me know.

Thanks for all your professional courtesy.

And you should probably tell Brittany and her husband to be extremely careful who they talk to about me and what they say.

They are speaking out of school and it is not helping them or the paper. Investigative reporting is an art….they are engaging in a slanderous smear campaign and it is going to cost them.
